OK, do you mean cantilever brakes? If so, I don't think they were common until the 80's, and probably never on a Schwinn of that era.
"Soddering finish"? Do you mean a smooth finish to the paint, or do you mean soldered lugs on the frame? Because Schwinns in that period came with 2 different frame types: soldered lug frames, or butt-welded frames. I don't think I've ever seen a 'cruiser' with anything but a butt-welded frame.
